DISCLAIMER:

I AM NOT RECOMMENDING THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS.  I AM JUST SPECULATING 
ABOUT WHAT I MIGHT DO IN A SCREWED UP SITUATION LIKE THIS.

If i had NO other options, i would remove the battery, unplug it, and 
spray the affected areas with a residue-less  aerosol contact cleaner 
or something like that ...  the good stuff is like $20+ bucks a can...  
i'd do it so the contact cleaner did NOT hit the screen or the paint... 
  i'd make sure keep the cleaner from running into things like 
cd-drives...

what's the water that has absolutely nothing in it?  Distilled?  Would 
distilled water have ZERO minerals in it?  Maybe a soft cloth lightly 
dampened w/ distilled water would be good to daub the juice residue off 
the boards...

I would definitely want to get the acidity of the juice off of there 
soon.  If the juice went DEEP-IN-THERE - wow.  Good Luck!

P.s.  your story is the EXACT reason i don't allow liquid of ANY SORT 
within ten feet of my power book no matter how deceivingly 'safe' it 
appears to be.  I might even consider taking some sort of drug to 
inhibit salivation or tearing...

no one ever intentionally pours juice into your computer - it's always 
an accident.

Ever heard the expression "An Accident Waiting To Happen." ??  Juice or 
other liquids within ten feet of a computer (especially a prized 
possession or one with work in it your life depends upon) = Accident 
Waiting To Happen.
